Welcome to the true story of my life. From a modest upbringing in a town never before exposed to soccer, to the playing fields of competitive NCAA Division I soccer. From the plush grass fields, coaching next to farms in the suburbs, to the concrete courts and metal fences that surrounded them in NYC. I would be left to find my own way in a world where anything could happen and often did. The tragedy, the violence, the assaults, and the murders would all impact me. Soccer would expose me to a world many don't even know exists.

I've been playing soccer for a long time, and believe me; I've made plenty of mistakes along the way. Every mistake taught me something, but sometimes the costs were a little higher than I wanted to pay at the time. Look, there's no instant way to be as good as Pele was in his prime or being able to steal the show like Beckham! But you can get started today. That's why I'm taking what I've learned and packing it into a fun, straightforward audio guide for you to listen to and put into practice immediately.

In Abseits der Spiele berichtet der Kölner Ex-Hooligan Biniak aus seiner aktiven Zeit in den 90ern und 2000er Jahren. Mit Biniak schreibt kein Journalist über Hooligans, sondern einer, der in der "ersten Reihe" dabei war, wenn es am Rhein heiß herging. Eine Liebeserklärung an Köln und eine exklusive Coming of Age Geschichte. - Der Autor lässt die Hörer in die eigene Gefühlswelt eintauchen. Zeile für Zeile aus dem Herzen und der Faust, dem "Selbstbild eines Kämpfers". Ein faktenreiches, anspruchsvolles Fußballbuch der Extraklasse.

Es gibt einen Kodex unter Hooligans? Absolut! Auch wenn man dies als Außenstehender gar nicht vermuten sollte, so lässt uns der "Biniak" an seinen Erlebnissen mit den Cologne Streetfighters teilhaben und beweist: Hooligans - zumindest die meisten - sind eigentlich ganz nette Kerle. So lernen wir aber nicht nur die Hooligan-Szene selbst kennen, sondern auch die wiederkehrend anwesenden Polizisten, die Fußballvereine, die Fans und vor allem: die Menschlichkeit zwischen all diesen Gruppen, die man hier wohl am wenigsten erwartet hätte.

El fútbol es un juego, una pasión, una forma de agregación social, un negocio; y, por todo ello, también una eficaz herramienta de control sobre las masas. Gracias a su inigualable capacidad de crear mitos, a su épica intrínseca, este deporte ha sido explotado desde sus albores como arma de propaganda ideológica y, más recientemente, también comercial. Los primeros en darse cuenta de su inmenso poder de sugestión fueron quizá los regímenes totalitarios del siglo XX, que, en su afán de calar transversalmente en todos los estratos de la sociedad.

Georgia Cloepfil played professional soccer for six years, on six teams, in six countries. In those years, the sport became more than a game—it was an immersive yet transient way of life. In South Korea, she lived and practiced in an isolated island compound next to an airport. In Australia, she coached youth teams on the side to pay her rent. In Lithuania, she played in the European Champions League, to empty stadiums and little fanfare. She lived out of a single suitcase, chasing better opportunities and the euphoria of playing well.
